Where Did Ed Sheeran’s Twitter Go?

A funny thing happened on the way to Westeros: Just a day after Ed Sheeran's surprise cameo in the first episode of Game of Thrones Season 7, the British musician disabled his Twitter.

As of Tuesday morning (July 18), the pop star's Twitter account (@edsheeran) with nearly 20 million followers was shut down, causing fans to fly into a panic and many to wonder if Sheeran was driven off the social networking app due to criticism over his brief appearance on HBO's hit fantasy epic.

"I’ve actually come off Twitter completely,” he explained during a radio interview in early July. “I can’t read it. I go on it and there’s nothing but people saying mean things. Twitter’s a platform for that. One comment ruins your day. But that’s why I’ve come off it. The head-f--k for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much."

"Lady Gaga’s fanbase read an interview in which they assumed I was talking about her and they all f–-king hate," Sheeran continued. "And it wasn’t anything to do with that at all. So I think Twitter gets on a massive steam roll of assuming things and then you get in the s–-t."
